Hey there, I just added a custom particle to the game but I don't want to be affected by lightlevel. How do I make it fullbright all the time? I experimented a bit with a custom particle renderer but I couldn't figure it out.

Here is what I have tried:

	      public void beginRender(BufferBuilder buf, TextureManager texmanager) {
	         RenderSystem.depthMask(true);
	         RenderSystem.disableLighting();
	         RenderSystem.enableBlend();
	         
	         RenderSystem.blendFunc(GlStateManager.SourceFactor.SRC_ALPHA, GlStateManager.DestFactor.ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
	         RenderSystem.alphaFunc(GL11.GL_GREATER, 0.003921569F);
	         texmanager.bindTexture(AtlasTexture.LOCATION_PARTICLES_TEXTURE);
	         buf.begin(7, DefaultVertexFormats.PARTICLE_POSITION_TEX_COLOR_LMAP);
	      }

	      public void finishRender(Tessellator tessellator) {
	         tessellator.draw();
	      }

The particle also has translucent pixels by the way.

Howdy

 

Easiest way is just to return full brightness from your particle's method.  Particle rendering has changed quite a bit from earlier versions of vanilla and you no longer need to do custom rendering for most particles.

eg

  // can be used to change the skylight+blocklight brightness of the rendered Particle.
  @Override
  protected int getBrightnessForRender(float partialTick)
  {
    final int BLOCK_LIGHT = 15;  // maximum brightness
    final int SKY_LIGHT = 15;    // maximum brightness
    final int FULL_BRIGHTNESS_VALUE = LightTexture.packLight(BLOCK_LIGHT, SKY_LIGHT);
    return FULL_BRIGHTNESS_VALUE;

    // if you want the brightness to be the local illumination (from block light and sky light) you can just use
    //  the Particle.getBrightnessForRender() base method, which contains:
    //    BlockPos blockPos = new BlockPos(this.posX, this.posY, this.posZ);
    //    return this.world.isBlockLoaded(blockPos) ? WorldRenderer.getCombinedLight(this.world, blockPos) : 0;
  }

Ugh why didnt I see the getBrightnessForRrender method... I'm an idiot
